Already used by more than 580,000 learners in over 200 countries and territories,HP is pleased to announce the launch of HP LIFE e-Learning 2.0, a new and enhanced version of this life-changing program.

HP LIFE 2.0 is now powered by EdCast, a social knowledge network built to enhance collaboration and online learning. As a result, HP LIFE users have access to new and enhanced learning opportunities from across the EdCast network, including new topics and access to additional quality content from global thought-leaders. HP LIFE 2.0 also enables private communities and discussion forums for collaborating partners.

Twenty five interactive HP LIFE micro-courses cover a wide range of topics, each of which is practical, conveniently self-paced, and offered in seven languages. With thousands of educators and trainers using the program to enrich their curriculum, HP LIFE is already a highly respected, well established program recognized around the world for its scope, reach and impact.

“We’re delighted that HP LIFE 2.0 is now available on the EdCast platform,” says Nate Hurst, Sustainability Innovation Officer, HP. “Technology is a key enabler for millions of talented people around the world who do not have access to the educational resources they need to reach their full potential. Through its combination of online, on-ground and just-when-you-need it learning opportunities, HP LIFE 2.0 opens a pathway to learning for underserved students, aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners everywhere – providing them with free access to practical business training that helps create jobs and strengthen local communities”.
